Weekend Prediction thread 5/17-5/19 Play the Derby
trifle replied to Impact's topic in Box Office Derby
sorry wrong thread! -
The first quote (by @The Futurist ) is a distinct minority from what I've seen. Most say she is very good or great or better, but some don't like either that she doesn't play a strong character, or that the character is in one mode for a good part of the film, or feel that the fact that the second is true hurts her awards chances amid more showy performances. Yes and no. It is a divisive film with those who love it and those who hate it. Most of the reviews in are by those who feel passionately about it, one way or the other. There are a lot yet to come in. We'll see. I honestly have no idea where it will end up.

I really doubt it, last I saw they had a total of $4M+ in TV buys, they are doing very low budget stuff to raise awareness, imho. And they clearly don't expect blockbuster results. They are repeatedly saying 'this movie won't be for everyone - it is very intense'. She has always taken less money for passion projects though, and switches them up with commercial fare. Passengers made $300M+ worldwide on a $110M budget, as a panned original property. It is doing VERY well in the after market. It definitely made money, and given it is an original property that was panned, the only reason there can be for that is the actors. That actually proves Jen and Pratt ARE draws. Jen clearly did her part in Joy, (hence the Oscar nomination.) ... But Barnack answered this better, so...
